Pretty much what the title says. Bought this LJ from the south last summer with some caked on dirt and sand, and never addressed it. Decided to see what I could do today. Sprayed some engine degreaser on, waited a minute, and tried to wipe off. Didn't really do much, so I tried to attack the...

After years of searching on and off for a 6 speed LJ in Jeep Green, I finally stumbled across this one back in August. Clean tub and frame, under 100k miles (barely), good carfax and maintenance records, and built a bit further than I ever planned to. After a couple of long phone calls, dozens...

Went to Rauch Creek and did green trails all day. Didn't really even contact anything the whole time, but the previous owner didn't really build it for that. Had a good time though and would like to go again. If I wanted to stray off the green trails and try a blue, what should I focus on buying...

Going off road for the first time this weekend and want to get a cb to communicate with the group. I dont mind spending a bit extra to get a nice kit. Would prefer smaller size, easier install, and would really like to avoid drilling into the tub or body panels. My bumpers (and tire swing) are...

I have an 06 LJ with the updated steering box. I ordered a steering box skid from poison spyder. I emailed tech support and they said it doesn't fit because I have an aftermarket bumper. All the pics online show similar bumpers though, and they fit fine. I'm thinking they sent me one for the...

I know 1 inch wheel spacers do not fully cover the wheel studs. I was reading that if the wheel has voids there to clear the remaining stud, that you could go that small on a spacer. The back of my rubicon wheels have this void, and I was wondering if I could get away with the 1" spacer instead...

After many posts over the past few weeks, and hours of research, I am coming full circle to wanting to run 16s. They really seem like a great compromise to me, and the only real issue is the lack of Load C options. I know there are more tire options in Load C for 15s. But they are only a little...

Having a hard time finding 17s with the correct bolt pattern, good backspacing, a reasonable weight (not steel), and a style I like. Would a JK takeoff (or similar) with a 2" adapter be my best option? I'd love a set of pintlers with a 1.25" adapter if I can find a set.

I want to change my steering setup from my Synergy setup to a V8 ZJ setup. I wouldn't bother, but the wheels/tires I want to run have too much backspacing for the synergy setup, and it also has mixed reviews here. Anyway, I have fairly limited experience working on vehicles. I have changed oil...

I've been having a hard time finding pictures of tire poke with different backspacing/tire/flare combos. Figure this reference might help people out. 6" bushwacker pocket flares 17"x8.5" wheels, 4.75" BS, 1.25" spacer 315/70R17 BFG KO2 (35x12.50 basically) Hopefully this helps someone. Can add...

Can I jump in with a steering question? I just got my LJ with the 4" Currie Lift, 1" BL/MML, and an Antirock. It has the Synergy steering on it now, which seems fine. I am planning to switch my wheels and tires, and the Synergy will not work with the backspacing I want. I am planning for an...

Hey guys. I am looking to trade my wheels and tires out for something different. They stick out way too far, require adapters, and the tires are a bit big. Anyway, I wanted something taller than a 33, and narrower than 12.5. It seems like all 35s are 12.5 wide, but wouldn't mind stepping down a...

I have the rear jacked up and on stands. Failed inspection because the parking brake didn't hold enough. Handle goes all the way up in the cabin. Anyway... Just trying to figure out which way to turn the parking brake adjusters at the wheels. One video said clockwise on one side and counter on...

Not sure exactly what wheels I'll go with, but was wondering if anyone had painted stock tj wheels to give them a unique look. Not looking to see black plasti-dip. But what about a nice gray, bronze, white, or some other color on a stock ravine, moab, or other?

Looking to replace the 315/70/17 tires on my LJ. Which is basically 35x12.50. I'm on a 4" currie lift and 1" body lift. I go back and forth on the 33s looking too short. I also hate how far I need to poke out with 12.50 widths. I have a few options here: 1. Get a 33 that "runs large". I know...

So my lj failed inspection for the horn. It worked a couple times since then, but not today. While testing, relay got no signal. Swapped with the fuel pump relay, and both relays are working in that location. So it's either horn, wiring, or clockspring? What exactly is the clockspring? Any...

I just picked up this LJ with these wheels and tires. Have receipt of purchase from tire rack for $2200 from 05/2020. Setup has been road force balanced. Wheels are method racing 312 in bronze, 17x8.5, 5x5 bolt pattern, 4.75" BS. Tires are BFG all terrain KO2 in 315/70/17, load C which is proper...

Most of the info I am finding says that this is OK, but I occasionally see a reference to a slightly larger pattern or lugs. Will the JL wheels work with my spidertrax 1.25 adapters? Also, would JLR takeoffs rub with only a 1.25 spacer? I believe they are 33x11.5 (285/70/17), and I think the...

I just picked up a new to me LJ, and it has a brand new Bestop Trektop NX on it. I really liked the OEM top on my old LJ, and this one also came factory with a khaki top, and I would like to return to that. I would be looking to trade for a nice condition OEM (or bestop) LJ top, preferably in Khaki.

Not sure how to check out if the brakes I have are working properly. I know 35s on 17s will be heavier, but I really have to give it everything it has sometimes, and it still takes quite a bit to slow down. Looks like the previous owner did drilled and slotted rotors (which seems odd for an off...
